Mendota City Council approves “Downtown Mendota Cruise In”

Car show set for Sunday, June 28

The Mendota City Council adopted Monday, Aug. 18, 2025, an ordinance authorizing the purchase of property at 200 N. U.S. 52 for $1.15 million with all contents. The city has long wrestled with a space crunch and decided the purchase was a more cost-effective option than new construction.

The Mendota City Council approved AMC Sound for its “Downtown Mendota Cruise In”.

The car show will be from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 28, in front of the former Rosati’s at 801 6th St.

To accommodate the car show, the council agreed to shut down portions of 6th Ave and 8th St during the event.

AMC Sound anticipates drawing 50-70 cars for the car show.

For more information on the event, call (815) 883-1981 or visit the AMC Sound website.
